About Garnet Valley Middle School

Dr. MLisa Stenz

At Garnet Valley Middle School, we are committed to helping every student grow academically, socially, and emotionally during this pivotal stage marked by rapid growth, change, and self-discovery. We believe middle school is a time to build confidence, independence, self-advocacy, and a strong sense of belonging.

Our school community is grounded in the belief that every student can succeed when supported by caring adults, high expectations for both learning and behavior, and meaningful opportunities to explore interests and passions. Through engaging, high-impact instruction, strong and supportive relationships, and a focus on the whole child, we work to ensure each student is prepared for high school and beyond.

As Jaguars, we strive to be safe, respectful, responsible, and compassionate in all that we do. These shared expectations guide our actions, strengthen our community, and create a positive environment where everyone can thrive.
